Product Info
Summer in Hokkaido is the perfect time to visit Lake Toya.
No need to wake up too early; depart from Sapporo in the afternoon and enjoy the vast, unique summer scenery of Hokkaido along the way. Pass by the Mt. Yotei scenic road and the Showa Shinzan volcanic area before slowly making your way to Lake Toya.
Ample free time is reserved at Showa Shinzan, where you can walk around, take photos, visit the Bear Ranch, or take the Mt. Usu Ropeway to overlook the lake and volcanic landscape from above. We will also stop at Lake Hill Farm, where the popular farm ice cream is well worth a try. On a clear day, just sitting by the lawn is incredibly relaxing.
After arriving at Lake Toya in the evening, you are free to stroll through the hot spring town, take photos, and wait for the sky to darken.
At 20:45, the fireworks will launch over the lake. The reflection of the fireworks on the water, combined with the lights of the hot spring town, creates a classic and unforgettable Hokkaido summer scene.
The overall itinerary is not rushed, offering a comfortable pace to experience the romantic atmosphere of a Hokkaido summer night. It is highly recommended for couples, friends, families, and first-time visitors to Hokkaido.
We drove towards Hokkaido's most classic summer scenery. The straight road stretched into the distance, with Mount Yotei standing quietly under the blue sky, as if a scene from an anime had come to life before our eyes.
Ample free time is allowed, during which you can stroll around Showa Shinzan, visit the bear ranch, or choose to take the Usuyama Ropeway for panoramic views of Lake Toya (ropeway fare not included). Experience the magnificent charm of the Lake Toya region amidst Hokkaido's unique volcanic landscape and natural mountain scenery.
The vast grasslands and mountain views outside the window make you unconsciously slow down. Order a Hokkaido ice cream and enjoy the leisurely summer time in Hokkaido in the sunshine and breeze.
The clear lake water reflects the distant mountains, and the air carries the unique tranquility of Hokkaido. Even if you do nothing but take a walk along the lake, you won't want to leave.
As night falls, fireworks burst across the lake and into the night sky, the lights of the hot spring town, the lake breeze, and the summer night atmosphere weaving together to create a uniquely romantic scene in Hokkaido. Many people come here just to wait for this moment. PS: This is a small-scale fireworks display.
As the Usuyama Ropeway (included in the Showa Shinzan tour, optional) slowly ascends, Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, and the magnificent mountain scenery of Hokkaido will come into view. The awe-inspiring natural beauty of Hokkaido will feel especially real here.
